A clockmaker works as an assassin on the side, gleefully dispatching the pompous and powerful with bombs, until a couple learns his explosive secret. (Netflix)
Reviews (1)
An initially likeable bomber has to overcome a series of obstacles, layered one on top of the other in a Coen-like fashion, for his latest caper. Of course, there are some dead bodies and a lot of misunderstandings on the way to the fatal explosion, and this pitch-black comedy is one of the best surprises waiting for me on Netflix this year, thanks to all that and Alastair Sim.
